The launch of the next generation just got a little more real. Speaking at the Citi Global Technology Conference, and noted by GeekWire, Xbox's Yusef Mehdi told attendees that Microsoft is now in "full production".

Which means right now, as you read this, somewhere in China, thousands of Xbox One consoles are rolling off the production line.

In perhaps more important news, though, Mehdi also said that the console's CPU has seen a slight increase in grunt, going from 1.6ghz to 1.75ghz.

What he didn't say, though, is when the thing's actually coming out. All we know on that front is that it's after November 8.
